Virginia is for LOVERS!

Mark and I were going to celebrate our 10-year anniversary in Costa Rica - but after doing some homework on the area I realized that it was going to be the rainy season in May (when my parents were coming to be present here for Adam's baptism) so we decided to go to Northern California instead and use our Spirit Airlines miles to fly there. I would show Mark my mission and its beautiful areas, visit old friends and discover the Redwoods together. 

But it did not happen... Once I got my dad's travel dates and looked into booking our award tickets, I could not find reasonable award tickets with our dates... I shared the disappointed news with Mark who  then had a great idea - what if we stayed in Virginia and discovered waterfalls?... after all, Virginia is for lovers!!
We had such a fantastic week going from one spectacular waterfall to a charming one... What a refreshing and romantic week...  

Falling Spring on Day one... Wow!
Falling Springs for the bottom of the waterfall... 
Pembroke Cascades... An adorable trail along the stream on our way to the waterfall
